Whatever you think about top two, commiepornia obviously has a Top Zero problem in the form of Gavin Gruesome aka Newscum.
Given that functionally illiterate voters such as Gavin Newsome are a growing majority of the public, a return to Viva Voce voting is long overdue (better yet, standing count).
Newsome says you never see him read a speech because he can’t read. I’m sure he knows his ABCs, but his dyslexia makes him confused at the sight of written words and it just jumbles his thinking process. He can probably process the same information much more quickly and proficiently if it’s read out loud to him.
There are other reasons written words aren’t optimal for a lot of people. For example, visual impairment. You don’t have to be blind, or even legally blind. As I’m getting older I myself get blurred or double vision more and more frequently and things fade in and out of focus. The problem is inconsistent , and doctors have been unable to diagnose it. I’ve had to make the letters on my phone bigger twice in just the last year or two. I’m not legally blind, and I’m still allowed to both drive and vote. I shouldn’t be allowed to do either one.
These problems are a lot more common than many people realise.
Newsome’s self reported 960 SAT score is around the 40th percentile of those taking the test, according to a cursory search. Since there’s no reason for anyone to take an SAT if they have no intention of going to university, it’s quite likely that a 960 SAT score would be above average for all voters, if all voters took SAT exams.
Poll taxes and property ownership requirements are no longer allowed as conditions for voting, supposedly because they are discriminatory. Literacy as a condition of voting is quickly becoming more discriminatory as functional illiteracy increases at an accelerating rate.
Property requirements and poll taxes have a much more practical purpose – to keep leeches and parasites with no stake in the community and no practical sense from voting themselves (and or others for whom they are emoting) other people’s hard earned money and communal equity. Meanwhile, literacy requirements just tilt the field towards an increasingly small class of thoroughly propagandized snobs with time on their hands and an unearned sense of superiority.
It doesn’t matter. I won’t be reading any of it, because I can’t read.
